3M Double-stick Tape

This tape works very well for guitar templates and fretboards. It's thin and holds well. Just don't leave it on for too long. :-) I made the mistake of leaving it on a fretboard for a couple of days and when I removed the tape, there was some glue residue on the back of the fretboard (but not on the neck). Otherwise, its great.

Double-stick tape has proven to be essential for my guitar builds. The adhesion of the tape is excellent and holds the blanks securely to the templates while routing. I will ensure my shop is always stocked with this product.

Before I purchased this I was attaching my templates with screws and clamps. I was weary about the adhesive ability of this tape but I have now used it quite a few times without a failure. It works very, very well. There is plenty of tape on the roll and should last me quite a while. I'm very pleased with this double-stick tape and will definitely reorder this in the future.

This is very good double sided tape. I have had no problems at all with it's gripping power and ability to stay in place when using it on templates.

Works real good for holding templets in place for duplicating patterns.
Remove the tape without residue left on the project.

Sticky enough to keep your templates attached but comes off without too much effort. Got sick of the super glue and masking tape method, now I'm saving money on super glue and tape (and a bit of time).

You will not be disappointed.

I've used this exclusively for a few years and it's perfect for template work. It sticks to most everything and is very strong. I've used it on neck templates for over 100 units (without screws) and it never failed me. Love it.

I've used several types of double-sided tapes for a number of applications, up to and including heavy-stick carpet tape, and nothing holds as firmly or releases as gently as Stew Mac's Double-Stick Tape. It's literally the perfect tape for holding acrylic, wood or MDF templates to nearly any surface securely for routing and pattern-transfer, yet is removed with a little effort by either twisting it or using a thin level for leverage leaving no damage to either the template material or even the thinnest of finishes on an instrument. There is little if any residue to clean up afterwards as well. I will only ever use this tape from now on.

Great for sticking routing templates

When it first arrived I was disappointed thinking it was the same as tape I've gotten from carpet stores and big box's. However, when I started using it I was blown away. 1 it's clear 2 the paper comes off the tape Easily... cool. 3 it comes off the items easy and 4 it bonds strong. Wow. Used to take two days to get the paper off some of these tapes but this one is cake. That makes it worth it by its self. Ok two days is exaggeration. Take 2 hours off.
